THE CANADIAN KN TOMOLOtilST, 



placed in a group with it l)y Giienee. The larva has been discovered and 

 will 1)0 described by Mr. Thaxter. N. V. (Dr. Bailey.) 



HaDF.XA Pl.UTONlA. 11. S. 



^ . Allied to Vnltuosa : very deep almost black brown. A black 

 streak at liase on internal margin and black irregular dashes before s. t. 

 line. i>ines doulili-. marked on costa. else difficult to make out. Orbicular 

 oblique, concolorous, a little paler, incompletely black-ringed. The wing 

 is of a burnt brown that makes all description difficult by obscuring the 

 markings. .Vnal hairs ochery. Hind wings fuscous with pale fringes. 

 Beneath the hind wings are paler, ochery towards inner margin : a dot and 

 two extra mesial lines. On fore wings terminal space a little paler. Palpi 

 brown, paler in front. Expanse 36 mil. Kelley Point, Maine. Mr.. 

 Thaxter. 



Spilosoma Congrla Walker. 



This species has at length been discovered. Mr. Thaxter has reared 

 it from the larva. On my first visit to the British Museum I examined 

 Walker's types and made the following description of his specimens: 



•• ^ . Primaries white with a very few sparsely arranged brown dots 

 and an S-shaped subterminal l)rown line, incompletely drawn across the 

 wing. Al)don"ien entirely white. ^ . Anterior wings with but one or two 

 exterior dots, almost immaculate white. Secondaries immaculate in either 

 sex. Inwardly the fore cox?e and femora are dark yellow without the 

 black spot sometimes in 5. Viri:;iiiic(X. than which this species seems a 

 little slighter. Beneath the male has faint discal marks wanting in the 

 female. Palpi and antennas much as in C. Vivi^inica. All the tarsi and 

 tibi?e are brown inwardly." 



The species may be distinguished from Latipennis by the yellow front 

 legs, and from Virginica by the unsi)otted abdomen. At the time I made 

 these notes I had never seen the species, nor have T seen it until now. I 

 was doubtful about its being North American : But very likely it is a form 

 that Mr. Strecker calls Antigone, which must join that author's long list of 

 synonyms. 



Caripeta Subochrearia, n. s. 



Larger than Divisaria and deeper in color. Thorax, head and costa 

 of fore wings bright ochraceous. Rest of the wing deep brownish ochrey. 

 Outer mesial band followed bv a broad, uneven vellowish white shade. S. t. 

 line dentate, edged with scattered pale scales. Discal spot yellowish white.
